An environment friendly process of isolating odorless hydroxyapatite powder (HAP) (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) from fish scale is provided which uses only alkali solution at lower concentration ( 2%). The process involves transformation of fish scale in to pure Hydroxyapatite powder which is easy to handle and cost effective.
